But the National Rifle Association says the celebration is unwarranted. Marion Hammer, longtime Tallahassee lobbyist for the NRA and the United Sportsmen of Florida, sent an email to supporters on Wednesday pointing out that gun control bills weren’t even heard in committee and vows to push for more legislation expanding gun rights.
“Regardless of who defeated what, we'd say it was a great session for protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens,” Hammer wrote. “ And the ‘victories’ claimed by . . . anti-gun groups will be short lived because bills to restore Second Amendment rights to law-abiding people will be back ... until they pass.”

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
